Gold Nanoshells With Micellar Core for The Delivery of Hydrophobic Chemotherapeutic and Cancer Photothermal Therapy

Lee S-Y, Shieh M.J., National Taiwan University, TW

Gold nanoshells have attracted great research interest because of its potential application in cancer photothermal therapy. In the present study, we established a multifunctional gold nanoshell that directly utilizing positively charged PDMA-b-PCL micelles as a [...]

Ultralow Detection of Bio-markers using Gold Nanoshells

Patel D., Zhang G., Sun X., Gobin A.M., Keynton R.S., University of Louisville, US

The focus of this project is to improve the detection of antigen/biomarkers/viral vectors using gold nanoshells (GNS). The assay used in this project is based on aggregation of GNS in presence of antigen or viral [...]

Pharmacokinetic study of PEGylated plasmon resonant gold nanoparticles in tumor-bearing mice

Kogan B.Ya., Andronova N.V., Khlebtsov B.N., Khlebtsov N.G., Khlebtsov B.N., Khlebtsov N.G., Rudoy V.M., Dement’eva O.V., Sedykh E.M., Bannykh L.N., FGUP “GNC “NIOPIK”, RU

Gold nanorods and gold nanoshells have been synthesized. Nanorods have length of 50 nm, diameter of 15-20 nm. Nanoshells have 80 nm silica core diameter with 25 nm thick gold shells. Then poly(ethylene glycol) molecules [...]
